In chapter 79 of his book, A Dragon's Tale, Antiproton quoted Nietzsche... (Oh if you haven't read A Dragon's tale https://storiesonline.net/s/27799/a-dragons-tale/i you really should do so!
Anyway just a bit of Nietzsche is a deep subject to read and left me with the following:
Thoughts on fighting monsters:
1) Monsters must be fought.
2) If you fight monsters, there is a very real possibility you will become a monster.
3) With one and two in mind, how is it possible to fight monsters without becoming a monster?
4) Humans have ‘internal’ and external monsters that they must fight.
5) If you fail to deal with your ‘internal’ monsters, then when you attempt to fight external monsters you will become a monster indistinguishable from those against whom you battle.
6) Not fighting monsters means that you surrender to monsters, which is at least as bad, if not worse, as becoming a monster. For to enable a monster is to empower it to devour the innocent.
Thoughts about gazing into the abyss:
1) What is the abyss? I. E. What do we mean when we talk about the abyss?
2) For now I’m going with what I believe is a working definition of he abyss: The abyss is the unknown. It is possible that the abyss in this context is the unknowable.
3) Nietzsche said if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you. What did he mean? Is is possible to determine what he meant with this statement? Is the abyss the way Nietzsche speaks of it some sort of ‘over-mind? If the abyss is some sort of ‘over-mind’, does it have conscience? I. E. If the abyss is aware of those who gaze into it, what is its purpose on gazing back?
If I have asked before then I apologize.I've worked on and off with yWriter with at best mixed results. I'm wondering whether or not there is anyone who is doing well with it among my audience, anyone who can maybe help me use it and get better results.
So far the best result I seem to get with the program is the keeping of lists of characters. I feel like this is like using a TT rig as a daily commuting vehicle to a job where I do nothing more than push paper.
Anyway, if someone can help, I would appreciate it.
Also, I'll say TIA to any respondents

I don't start things because I might fail. I fail because I don't start things....
Definitely circular logic at its best. Not that I can seem to escape the circle, because I generally quit anything that presents any level of difficulty. I know, I'm insane, but it's hard to break out of a life time grave with the ends kicked out. Indeed, it looks easier to just lie down and stop trying at all, after all there will be no success in my life...
Which is yet more circular logic.
I've been considering whether or not to experiment with an AI narrator. I don't have any capital to invest in anything. Indeed, I'm truly wondering if I can pull a SSI-DA award, since I'm finding that work is not longer available at least nothing that I can sustain, because I refuse to break my hands over work that won't sustain me without spending hours I frankly don't want to spend breaking my body. At least not as much as the work that I can get will require.
Honestly, I'd prefer to work for my money, rather than accept a disability award. There is freedom in work and earned money, but my productivity with writing says that I've got little chance of actually completing any work... I've got another piece of dreck started, that if it matches what I've already published will be exactly that, I'd like to work with a proofreader, if anyone is willing to work on a very hit and miss schedule, oh and my particular set of kinks...
If you've read any of the recent pieces I posted I apologize for not tagging them with caution notes as they are all of a dark theme, specifically suicidal thoughts and ideation. Plans made, and while not acted on actively, then passive suicidal activity.
So, if you read my work, including my blog, here's a caution I'm pretty deep in the blue funk. I'm pretty much doing the dying fish float. So expect it to come out in any writing I publish.
